Notes from the leading edge Posted Nov 22, 2006 12:47 UTC (Wed) by kzin (guest, #841) [Link] I think "TERM=screen" is standard Linux termcap, and (nearly) all distros have it. Of course, you can always "TERM=linux" or "TERM=xterm" if you need to to log into AIX or whatever. They're compatible.
Notes from the leading edge Posted Nov 23, 2006 6:05 UTC (Thu) by mokki (subscriber, #33200) [Link] A good practice is to copy the linux terminfo database to any solaris / hp-ux / aix system you log into and just set the TERMINFO environmental variable to point to it. That way you can use TERM=rxvt, TERM=screen and not have broken functionality.
I actually have created a reduced set of terminfo files in a ready tar.gz package that I just extract into my home directory in oldie unix systems.
